That's how you know this is just part of your life. The swamp is just another piece of terrain you need to cross before getting to your destination - not something that should trap you forever. Sometimes the scenery sucks, but perhaps that just makes the sunsets and the rainbows even that much more spectacular! And the only excuse to eat crap and sit on your ass is a conscious decision to do so. Nothing wrong with it, but realize that YOU control that, not the circumstances around your life. You are rockin' this thing, lady! Yay! That’s how you know this is just part of your life.

Thank you for the kind words. It's funny, this swamp situation, in the sense that my commitment to weight loss is still firm . . . I just don't *feel* that good about it. I will stay the course regardless. Crabby! Hi! Thank you for the kind words. It’s funny, this swamp situation, in the sense that my commitment to weight loss is still firm . . .

It seems to be a theme lately--so many people are struggling! Sounds like you're turning things around though, which is great. Sending good wishes! Hope the last traces of swamp-mud rinse off soon.

People put it all out there: the good, the bad; the difficulties AND the inspiring moments. I am sorry to hear you've been dealing with the swamp off and on recently and I am sending lots of positive, encouraging vibes your way :). Tina: I too love reading people’s SparkPages!

The pit sucks, I've been there many times, in fact have been living there off and on for the past 6 months or so. I know what you mean about needing to be around people who are going through the same struggles. This has helped me tremendously in the past. Right now I'm trying to do this thing on my own drawing from what I've learned from years of WW meetings. I do miss that interaction,and it never failed that I would learn something in every meeting. Good luck in whatever you decide. Either way, you're doing great. There's always so much more we can learn!. What I like about Sparkpeople is that it's so real. I've read so many Sparkpages of people who admit to the struggle of breaking bad habits and living more healthy. Sometimes the success stories from WW are not quite as 'real' to me. Take care!
